Highlights

  • Version 2.4 of Honkai: Star Rail will feature Jiaoqiu and Screwllum, two five-star characters on the paths of Nihility and Erudition.
  • Obtaining five-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail requires spending Rail Passes on banners like Event Warp, Stellar Warp, and Departure Warp.
  • Jiaoqiu focuses on reducing enemy DEF and dealing Fire damage, while Screwllum is a robotic unit with high ATK specializing in Imaginary damage.

Honkai: Star Rail will allegedly introduce players to Jiaoqiu and Screwllum in version 2.4 later this year. Jiaoqiu and Screwllum are rumored to be five-star characters walking the path of Nihility and Erudition, respectively. If early leaks about these banners are accurate, Honkai: Star Rail's 2.4 will be the first update with two limited five-star male units.

Honkai: Star Rail features a number of five-star characters, each with their own skills and path alignment. They are necessarily harder to obtain than four-star units but have better animations, skills, and traces. The only way to get them in Honkai: Star Rail is to spend Rail Passes on banners, such as Event Warp, Stellar Warp, and Departure Warp. It's worth noting that the newest five-star characters appear on the Event Warp banner, which remains available for three weeks.

Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse celebrates its successful Robin fan letter event by releasing a new promo code with free rewards to claim now.

A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak, which comes courtesy of Firefly Leak, has revealed that version 2.4 will introduce a pair of five-star characters, Jiaoqiu and Screwllum. According to the banner schedule, Jiaoqiu will appear in the first part of the update, while Screwllum will arrive in the second part. At the time of writing, not many details are available about their debut banners, but players can expect them to feature several rerun characters. Though Firefly Leak is a reliable source within the Honkai: Star Rail community, this leak should be taken with extreme caution.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.4 Banner Characters

  • Jiaoqiu (five-star Nihility)
  • Screwllum (five-star Erudition)

This leak came as a surprise to many players, as it was previously rumored that version 2.4 would bring Honkai: Star Rail's Sunday. Now, it appears that Trailblazers will have to wait a little longer to obtain the elder brother of Robin.

Honkai: Star Rail's Jiaoqiu is a five-star character who treads on the Nihility path and specializes in reducing the enemy's DEF. He inflicts a stack of debuff on targets and dishes out Fire damage over time. Using his ultimate, Jiaoqiu deals damage to multiple targets on the battlefield. It's safe to assume that the upcoming unit will fit into the support role.

Screwllum, on the other hand, is a robotic unit that scales off ATK and follows the Erudition path. The five-star character dishes out a reasonable amount of Imaginary damage to a single target and inflicts the "Diffusion Mark" debuff on enemies. Moreover, he reduces their resistance by 20% for a couple of turns. Honkai: Star Rail players can expect him to be a DPS unit with incredible damage output.
